Serie A Team of the Week: Ljajic puts in Champions League performance

Goal hands out the awards to the star men of the past few days in Italy after the final round of fixtures

Another Serie A season is over. While Juventus fans celebrate another Scudetto and Napoli and Milan make plans for the Champions League, Palermo, Siena and Pescara will be thinking about how to approach their Serie B campaign to next term.

But one last order of business needs clearing up first, with the Goal Team of the Week for round 38 dealing out the final awards of the league season,

Antonio Mirante is the first of six maiden appearance makers in the Team of the Week for this season, following his magnificent performance in denying Palermo a farewell win over Parma.

Davide Astori's powerful defensive display helped Cagliari past Lazio, while over in Siena, Cristian Zapata and Claudio Terzi were equally important for their respective teams as Milan snatched the Champions League play-off spot at the death.

Alessio Cerci scored one, made another, and generally had a hand in everything good about Torino's display in the 2-2 draw with Catania. Over in Pescara, Mati Fernandez helped push Fiorentina to within a whisker of Champions League football with a goal and two assists, while Giampiero Pinzi ensured Udinese made it to the Europa League with a first-minute goal and sparking a commanding performance in the 5-2 win at Inter. Massimo Gobbi, meanwhile, was busy putting in a goalscoring shift for Parma at Palermo.

Palermo said goodbye to Serie A and to Fabrizio Miccoli, but the club captain and icon signed off with a goal and a stirring performance despite defeat to Parma. Cyril Thereau equalised twice late on to ensure that Chievo got something out of their trip to Atalanta, but Adem Ljajic was the star of the round despite his hat-trick against Pescara coming too late for Fiorentina to claim a Champions League spot.
